In less then 3 weeks, the bf & I are flying to Chicago for a weekend getaway à deux. We’ve got a packed itinerary as we’re only there for 3 days… In our top 5 is Frank Lloyd Wright’s Robie House.

New York, I Love You.

August 11, 2009

Lately, ever since my return from Europe, I’ve been caught up in the feeling of needing to live someplace else, of transporting my life, of experiencing new lights, New York.

The much anticipated followup to Paris, Je t’aime- New York, I Love You, released the trailer for its upcoming October 16th theatrical debut.

DIY Escort Cards.

August 10, 2009

I saw the cutest/most unique idea for wedding escort cards via Once Wed. Follow Anna Bond’s (of Rifle Designs) DIY instructions here. Of course, you can make your box a whole lot bigger!

Bitchin Salad.

August 9, 2009

I just returned from the annual cottage retreat in St-Pierre de Wakefield- we had some wonderful meals: sticky ribs, my mom’s infamous potato salad, hot dogs on the fire,  and let’s not forget the DQ ice cream cake! Surprisingly, I’m still thinking of food and couldn’t resist posting Melissa Camero’s Pasta Salad w/Steak & Blue Cheese Avocado Dressing.

Simple Diary.

August 6, 2009

I fell in love with Keel’s Simple Diary while visiting the Tate Modern‘s gift shop- I have quite a thing for museum boutiques.

I bought my bestie Chantale the green one, and I’ve already helped her fill out one of the pages! If you can’t make it to London soon (sigh), Anthropologie has released the orange one in their stores.

Not your average diary, the Simple Diary was created by Philipp Keel- who’s also the man behind the journal series “All About Me” & “All About Us.” See below for sample pages from the Simple Diary.

Sweet Journals.

August 6, 2009

It’s hard to believe that I’ve been home for over a week and a half now- And yet I feel like just yesterday I was sipping espresso and eating my habitual morning croissant! While away gallivanting the streets of Europe, I wrote a lot… I’d purchased a simple black leather journal while in D.C. in June.

But aren’t the ones below so pretty? Anthropologie just released them in their stores nationwide.
